We were proud to support the WSOY Community Food Drive again this year!

Throughout September, Crossing Healthcare staff joined in Wacky Wednesdays and collected donations to help families across Macon County. Today, we dropped off our donations at Kroger in Mt. Zion.

We were also honored to be the recipient of a generous donation from Kroger. Their support helps fund our Prescription Produce Program and Crossing Healthcare Garden, providing fresh, healthy food for our patients.🌱

Thank you to the sponsors, volunteers, organizers and everyone who puts so much time and effort into making the WSOY Community Food Drive possible each year. We are grateful to be part of a community that continues to come together to support our neighbors.

A huge thank you to our friends at Forvis Mazars!

Whether they’re getting their hands dirty volunteering in the Crossing Healthcare Garden or supporting our work through a financial gift, their team continues to go above and beyond.

The fresh fruits and vegetables grown in our garden go directly to our Prescription Produce Program, helping provide our patients with access to healthy, nourishing food.

Community partners like Forvis Mazars help strengthen our programs, expand our reach and support the health of our community from the ground up.

Thank you, Forvis Mazars, for your generosity, dedication and continued partnership!
